It Took Me 29 Years to Discover Wine, Ask Me a Question

Pommie bastard!

LOL


Doesn't matter, mate

I'm just takin' the piss.

You are welcome in our land...if you don't whinge

*grin*

Thanks mate, Where do you apply for citizenship?

You have to go to Canberra, seek the Prime Minister, enter her back garden (steathily) and meet her pucker with a kiss.

I never dug the taste of wine. Thought it was kind of crappy, preferred beer or whiskey.

On New Year's Day, just after midnight, my kid sister, age 24, insisted I drink champagne. I used to sip it now and then to be a good sport, but never drank a whole glass. So this year, I relented. Now, I think it's awesome.

Right now, I'm drunk on a bottle of something called Santa Margherita. It was a gift from years ago that I put in a closet and ignored, since I was never a wine guy. I am a light weight, yes, I admit it. But I've downed all but one last glass in the last half hour, and this feels different than being drunk of beer or harder stuff. It goes down easy, and it's like a different feeling.

I can't believe it took nearly 30 years of my life to realize how great wine is. Just wanted to share.

Feel free to ask me a question, hope this is coherent. 2012: The year I learned to appreciate vino!

And, if you drink about a gallon and a half of cheep cooking wine in a (relatively short) night, your shit will be blacker than Satan's taint for about 3 days.

Trust me on this one.

Call me a murkin, but I call 'em chips. Potato chips to be exactly. But what does this have to do with wine, or being "worldly"? Seriously. Maybe this is where the idea of wine being a pretentious drink comes from, why all the snobbery and cryptic BS? Call me a simpleton if it makes you folks feel better, but what does it prove?

Hope you feel better about yourselves.

I don't know if it's the time of day, or if things are different Down Under, but it seems the Aussies really love their wine.

Going purely on stereotype, I always saw wine as a French/Italian thing. Or, afterward, maybe a California thing. But now I feel some odd urge to get out my Men at Work album. I hope you're all happy. Who can it be now, it's all overkill with you people, and I can't get to sleep.

Maybe there's some inner wine drinking world that I'm not a part of. Maybe I'm too drunk. I have no idea what this means

Okay, I gotta ask...

What's with the "drop bear" joke?

I mean, it's some sort of "bear" that drops out of the trees?

Is that it, or am I missing something?

Drop Bears gota watch out for them mate, they will kill ya!

Quick fact, GLP: You think Australians are assholes on the internet?

You haven't been to a bar in Australia.



(I loved your country. Except for the temperature.)

But are they assholes to pretty American girls with big boobs?

That is the most important thing to know.

Bloody hot here today, Even in Tassie, No wine in the sun today, just water and beer.

I have loved the people in all the countries I have been to, even America. I think if people travelled more and drank wine together we might just get on a lot better.

Yes. Australian wine is awesome. I'm not talking about the cheap crap that's exported.
